Orlando Reporter.
Gen. Sebring was in Orlando on Monday
last. He, too, realizes fully the importance of
prompt and active measures to secure immigra-
tion to Florida. Gen. Sebring takes a very COM
prehensive view of the case when he suggests
that railroad and land companies make special
effort to secure fer Florida class of small farm
ers who would take five, ten and twenty acres
each, and then set about bringing such small
farms into the highest possible state of culture
and productiveness. 1t railroad companies
would make known 10 the world the oppor,uni-
ties afforded to this class in Florida, AMI offer
them long time rates on land purchases, with
annual payments, an industrial class could be
brought here which would develop the unculti-
vated lands and convert them into productive
gardens Every farmer of this class would be-
come shipper of vegetables over the lines of
the railroad companies which sold the lands, and
thus the business of the roads would be ncreas-
ed, while the market value of their unsod lands
would soon be quadrupled Florida is capable
of being made producing State outside of the
production Of fruits. 1t has at least thirty DAYS
advantage over any other State in the matter of
Scasons anu III tue production OF early vegeta-
bles Every one knows what this means The
earliest vegetables always command fancy prices.
As prices decline our surplus should he canned,
and the world should be made to look to Florida
for its earliest we'll its choicest supplies OF
vegetables, as well as fruits Gen. Sebring WISE
ly says that if the State is properly peopled with
small farmers, who will also be producers and
shippers there will be no lack of capital here 10
carry on desired enterprises.

Orlando Reporter Something of curiosity
in the iruit line may be seen on DR.. Miller's
place in this city. 1t is an orange tree, one
branch of which is filled with sweet lemons
having been budded. The fruit is entirely lack
ing in that strong acid common to the lemon, its
pulp being actually sweeter than that OF a
sweet orange, so that no sugar is needed in
making lemonade from it. 1t is stated that D.

between Clay Springs and Orlando, and that he
now has five or six teams busily at work deliv-

that force of five hundred graders are now at

No such show of Southern industrial resources
st the Piedmont Exposition, and letter ad-
dressed to the Herald from Atlanta, Ga, by Mr..
Fl. W. Grady, sets this forth in very interesting
detail.
Seven years ago the Cotton Exposition was
held in Atlanta. which in great degree started
the Southern development that we have since
seen. The Piedmont Exposition may be ex-
pected 10 produce like results on larger scale.
On October II there will be lively times on
old Kenesaw Mountain. Thousands of Confed-
crate veterans will gather there A barbecue
will be held in the day time. At night the
mountain will be lit up with fire. Pyrotechuic
effigies of Generals Sherman and Johnston will
blaze forth and five thousand rockets, ignited by
electricity, will leap at once from the historic
summit
few days after, when President Cleveland
arrives, this splendid illumination will be re-
peated, and on October 18 a sham battle-how
vastly better than real one will be fought
with six thousand infantry, ten companies of
calvary and six batteries of artillery
But the victories of peace rather than the
pageantry Of war will constitute the chief attrac-
ton and the true significance of the Piedmont
Exposition. There are to be massed in it, as
Mr.. Grady tells US, exhibits OF woods, minerals
and manufacturing and agricultural production ms
such as the South has never put together before
and the exhibition will surely teach its lesson
and have its reward.
